Chapter 1213 - 280: Aunt_4
He felt that with someone keeping watch in Tiance Mansion, nothing could go wrong. If there was a problem, it would be because Wendong had someone send them away, and they escaped halfway. Even if Xie Yi was really pregnant, it would have only been for a short time.
After hearing the explanation, those people stopped throwing eggshells and vegetable leaves, calling for the Imperial Physician, and a doctor from Mingyi Doctor Hall to see her, "Someone has taken a secret medicine that can spoof pregnancy symptoms! Make sure to get a skilled one, don’t be fooled!"
But Xie Yi was fearless and calmly waited, "I have been pregnant for over three months, and I am not afraid of any doctor’s examination!"
Soon, a doctor from Mingyi Doctor Hall arrived, and not just one.
They took turns checking Xie Yi’s pulse, and the result confirmed a pregnancy of over three months. Tracing the conception time, it aligned with that time earlier in the year. There were no indications of drug use.
Chang Yonglin’s expression slightly changed, "Impossible! Brother-in-law Qin never touched her, otherwise he would not have chopped off her hand."
Pei Qian angrily pointed at Xie Yi, "You whore, carrying someone else’s bastard! And now you turn to falsely accuse others! Dreaming of glory and riches! My brother-in-law would never fancy someone like you! We should have chopped off your hands and feet on the spot, and sold you to the Hidden Kiln! If it weren’t for the disappointing Pei Wendong begging for mercy, and if my sister hadn’t spared you, you would be earning your keep in the Hidden Kiln! Since then, you and your brother have been kept under watch in the courtyard, with no one but old women serving! You claim you were pregnant then, it must be a bastard you made with Xie Ze!"
"You!" Xie Yi glared back at her hatefully, "You’ve already wronged the stepmother of Old Pei’s House to death, and now you want to use this trick on me?!"
Pei Yuan held back Pei Qian, preventing her from acting rashly.
Pei Wendong stepped forward, saluting Xie Yi with cupped hands, "Ms. Xie’s schemes and calculations, I admire utterly. I believe Magistrate Xie and his wife would be proud from above! I also ought to thank you for not saying that all of us present then had raped you!"
